Their were several changes from the original named line-up on 6
February. Sam Burnison came in to replace Greenock Morton FC's Sandy
Craig at left-back, then Burnison and McCann swapped positions. Harry
Hampton replaced Hibernian FC's John Lamb at right-half. There were
two replacements in the forward line, Airdrieonians FC's Sam Young was
replaced at centre by Billy Halligan, and to his left, Greenock Morton
FC's O'Hagan was replaced with Jimmy McAuley.An accident to Frank
Thompson soon after the second half started meant he had to retire,
but he returned and
Ireland effectively played with ten men for the rest of the match.

Bob
Crompton extends his tally as England's
record appearance holder, and Sam Hardy extends his record of the
goalkeeper with most appearances, in this, the oldest team to be fielded by England
thus far, a record broken for the third
match in a row.

newspaper notes:

"A difficulty has arisen with regard to England's team to meet
Ireland...owing to the replayed Cup ties fixed for Thursday. The
Football Association, without wishing to bring pressure to bear, have
notified
[Tim] Williamson of
Middlesbrough, and
[Harry] Makepeace and
[Frank] Jefferis, of Everton,
that unless they can travel with the rest of the party, which leaves
Crewe at 5.10 on Thursday afternoon, they will not be allowed to play.
Hardy, Bradshaw and Fleming are chosen to fill vacancies that may
arise."
